What else can I help you with?
What happens under the earth when a earthquake forms?
shakes
How does this tsuami event form?
it forms from an earthquake under water pushing the water upward.
What is the role of density in turbidity currents?
Density's role is to push the cloudy turbid water under the less dense surrounding water to start the turbidity currents
How do volcanoes form along subduction zones?
Well, the less dense plate thing dunks under the more dense one. Eventually (over millions of years) the stuff pops, going into volcanic activity. Hope this helps! Email me if you need more info @ ghambelton@verizon.bet
What happens when plates collide and one plate sinks?
The collision of plates commonly includes "subduction", where one plate is forced under the other, down into the mantle. These plates are melted and rise again, adding to the magma under the overlying plate. This creates heated rock that can later emerge through the surface in volcanoes. Oceanic plates are thinner and denser than continental plates, so are the ones forced down, either under a continental plate or another oceanic plate.
Movement that occurs when more dense seawater sinks under less dense seawater?
density current
What kind of current forms when denser seawater sinks under less seawater?
riptide
When denser seawater sinks under less dense seawater a current is formed?
Yes, this process is known as thermohaline circulation. It occurs when denser, colder seawater sinks beneath less dense, warmer seawater, generating deep ocean currents that help regulate Earth's climate by distributing heat around the globe.
Where cool dense water sinks it become more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.
Where cool dense water sinks its becomes more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.
Where cool dense water sinks does it become more dense?
When cool dense water sinks, it becomes more dense because the cooler temperature causes the water molecules to contract and become more tightly packed together. This increased density allows the water to sink below warmer, less dense water layers.
When plates collide the denser plate will ride over the less denser plate?
No, the denser plate sinks under the less dense plate in a process called subduction.
When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity this type of boundary forms?
A subduction zone is formed when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate, resulting in volcanic activity. Oceanic crust is denser and sinks beneath the less dense continental crust, leading to the formation of volcanic arcs on the overriding plate.
When a more dense oceanic plate sinks under continental plate?
This is called a destructive plate boundary. It occurs due to the fact that the oceanic crust is far denser than the continental crust. As a result it subducts into the mantle and is incenerated. Hope it helped:)
How could a collision between two seafloor plates produce volcanic activity?
When two seafloor plates collide, one of the plates may get forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. As the descending plate sinks into the Earth's mantle, it gets heated up, causing the rock to melt. This molten rock rises to the surface and forms volcanoes, leading to volcanic activity.
Why does one continental plate slide under the other?
Because magma rises through hot spots( holes in the ground on the ocean floor) and cools forming new crust which repeats over hundreds of years making the oceanic crust more dense than continental crust. Since the oceanic crust is more dense, it sinks faster causing it to slide under the continental crust
Where is the lowest elevation in the world NOT under seawater?
